My practice drastically changed once going into quarantine. I found it very difficult to have any motivation once being home all the time. This is especially because I was mainly photographing people. I was no longer able to photograph people in the same way, and ended up mainly photographing my brother in different metroparks in the Toledo area. This proved to be a challenge as I could no longer shoot on film either, and my dslr stopped working a week into quarantine. This led to most of my photos being phone pics. With these limitations I tried to play off of weird projects I already had been doing. My photos for mom series are literal phone pictures I have always taken for my mom of my brother and I doing weird things in parks. This also drew off of my idea to make eye-spy type pictures of my brother and I hiding in the trees. The last of my film photos are also stuck as edited TIFFs. I was unable to download photoshop as my laptop has no storage, and the files were too big for...
I am loving the shadows, like the top one is just interesting with the light. I always enjoy shadows though and how light reveals and hides. Curious on if this a study or an addition to previous work, especially the first photo and the sixth photo have a feel to it, from previous work I saw of yours, it is more on interaction, just from my feeling alone. I also dig the weird wall texture, how I can see the bumps and the open cellar door to complete blackness, it is definitely like a pointed out use of shadows, of hiding detail, like you should not know what is inside the cellar. I am digging it.
ReplyDeleteI really like the third photo. I feel like the framing is a little crooked, but the shot itself is REALLY cool. It has a really cool run-down look to the building. I like how you use the shadows in the last one as well.
